We describe our technique and analyze the long-term results of
the use of argon laser photocoagulation in the treatment of 92
eyes with recurrent trichiasis. In spite of an incidence of recurrences
of 64.1% which had to undergo a new laser photocoagulation session,
the final success rate of the method was impressive (91.3%). The
number of misdirected cilia per lid seems to constitute an important
factor which affects both the rate of recurrences and the success
rate of the procedure.
